DYNAMIC MANAGEMENT OF DECEPTION SYSTEMS

Abstract:

Disclosed herein are methods, systems, and processes for dynamically deploying deception computing systems based on network environment lifecycle. Lifecycle metadata associated with protected hosts in a network is retrieved. A configurable ratio of honeypots to the protected hosts is accessed. One or more honeypots are deployed based on: the configurable ratio if the lifecycle metadata can be retrieved or determined, or on a schedule if the lifecycle metadata cannot be retrieved or determined, but can be estimated.
